iCloud Email Down

I haven't been able to send email from my MobileMe account all morning, I am able to receive email though.
Can you guys still access your iCloud mail on your iOS devices? I think it's apparent now that unless you're using the new iCloud beta on your PC's it's not going to work.
This is so strange then! My iCloud email account isn't working on either my iPhone or my iPad. I have deleted the accounts several times and readded them. I have turned mail off and turned it back on. I have no idea what is going on! Thanks for checking, though.
Does anyone have any clue to what my problem might be?
I managed to get everything going again on both the iOS devices and my computer running Lion with 10.7.
Something must have been jammed up on my iPhone running iOS 5 Beta 4. I did a full restore and everything seems to have started working again.

Thank god I'm not alone. I'm guessing they're having a maintenance or something..
Looks like I'm gonna have even more unread e-mails..

Yup. I'm also experiencing it. Phone keeps telling me I have the username and password even though it hasn't changed since day 1 of iCloud beta 5. Maybe it's Apple trying to fix up some bugs with the cloud. Hopefully the emails will go through faster on my CDMA iPhone 4 after it's fixed.

i've been getting that off and on since beta started.
Apple are messing about with servers and coding, there's a reason that the dev notes say NOT to use it for critical data and that the data will be wiped. so some access problems are going to be the least of your worries! you're gonna be gutted when your emails get wiped!
it's why i'm not using it properly until at least the GM or official launch
I don't have any critical data on that iCloud mail account. It's only my secondary e-mail address.
Anyways iCloud Mail is working again.

Well you were saying about unread email so wasn't sure.
You can be sure that when they wipe some iCloud data as part of the beta people will be posting here saying iCloud sucks as it wiped their email/contacts/photostream or all of that though!
Expecting all my data to be wiped on iCloud, though. I only use at the moment the E-mail feature of iCloud.
FAIL!! Seriously, we need Jobs back so he can fire the iCloud lead team like he did with MobileMe!!!
FORTUNE:
Apple doesn't often fail, and when it does, it isn't a pretty sight at 1 Infinite Loop. In the summer of 2008, when Apple launched the first version of its iPhone that worked on third-generation mobile networks, it also debuted MobileMe, an e-mail system that was supposed to provide the seamless synchronization features that corporate users love about their BlackBerry smartphones. MobileMe was a dud. Users complained about lost e-mails, and syncing was spotty at best. Though reviewers gushed over the new iPhone, they panned the MobileMe service. Steve Jobs doesn't tolerate duds. Shortly after the launch event, he summoned the MobileMe team, gathering them in the Town Hall auditorium in Building 4 of Apple's campus, the venue the company uses for intimate product unveilings for journalists. According to a participant in the meeting, Jobs walked in, clad in his trademark black mock turtleneck and blue jeans, clasped his hands together, and asked a simple question: "Can anyone tell me what MobileMe is supposed to do?" Having received a satisfactory answer, he continued, "So why the **** doesn't it do that?"
